EPITAXY BOAT AND METHOD FOR LIQUID PHASE EPITAXIAL DEPOSIT OF CDHGTE

摘要

The invention concerns an epitaxy boat for the liquid phase epitaxial deposit of a CdHgTe layer on a heterosubstrate without any risk of dissolving the heterosubstrate in the epitaxy solution. Said boat comprises two horizontal slides mutually offset such that the tellurium solution is brought above a selected zone of the heterosubstrate. The invention also concerns a method for depositing a CdHgTe layer on a heterosubstrate using said boat. The invention is applicable to the production of infrared radiation detectors.
